Brooks Works Out For The Skins?!

I think you are insane if you think that Aaron Brooks is better than Mark Brunell.

Brunell taking the field this year means certain disaster. We'll face eight guys up front even on passing downs. News flash: he can't throw anymore.

I agree with your QB depth chart projection....however, it seems most here are not thrilled with the idea of Mark Brunell as a long term backup.

I agree, based on age.
Brunell does have an unbeatable attitude.
He is the ultimate team player...he gave us some amazing games against Dallas....he actually gave us some hope that we haven't had for a very long time...before Brunell got in synch with Moss....he was basically average.
I really hope Brunell stays around for a long time...but as a 3rd stringer or coach next year....beyond that he may hurt us.
I love his attitude. We need other Redskins to pick that up.
The only thing we need is a potential starter at number 2.....right now, we dont have that. I really dont know of any QB available that has that potential. (excluding Culpepper, who is walking on eggshells).

For you Brunell haters...please tell me who we pick up at this point (except Culpepper) to replace him at number 2?

Brunell's the chief reason for the Redskin's woes. Please don't tell me Brunell led us to the playoffs. I saw the games.

Let us not forget that Mark Brunell in his Career has made it to AFC Championship game, lets not forget that MB has been a Pro Bowl quarterback. Thats what I call a veteran back-up, someone who use to be great but with age became average. But as he became average he became wise. MB is a good QB if he's healthy. The problem is his body is too old to endure an entire season. Last year his best games were early in the season then he got banged up and it got ugly. 2yrs ago his deep ball looked great early (Cowboys MNF) by week 10 on it got really ugly. Not to mention he took us to the playoffs, got a victory and Santana Moss had a breakout season that year so Mark was doing something right. If he is forced to come in for 3 games he'll be nice and fresh and get the job done. Long story short that sounds like the type of guy we all should want JC to learn from. Good guy on and off the field, kind of reminds me of Gibbs. Maybe I'm ignorant can someone educate me on a wikipedia update of Aaron Brooks??

You have a point. Brunell might be capable of wo or three games.

While were letting has-beens work out why don't we give Jeff Hostetler a call?

Or Jeff George, or Jeff Blake.

Damn. Why is everyone hating on Brooks? He is kind of a knucklehead but he can at least throw way better than any of our current back-ups.

Oh ok...and Todd Collins CAN?
